As the first German consultancy - and the only one of European origin - dedicated to both fields, we have guided countless organizations toward Agile Leadership and Future-Ready strategies.
At the heart of everything we do is #WePowerment - a philosophy that fuels personal accountability, encourages lifelong learning, and empowers individuals to unlock their full potential. Our approach transforms teams and organizations into agile, resilient entities that thrive in dynamic markets.

DEI Leadership
Diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI) teams are key to driving innovation, improving decision-making, and achieving balanced governance. By prioritizing DEI in both candidate selection and within our own organization, we help you build resilient, future-ready leadership teams that deliver sustainable, impactful business results.
We actively collaborate with
SER Topvrouwen a network dedicated to accelerating the advancement of top female executives in the Dutch business community. Additionally, our cross-border seminars enable German and Dutch leaders to exchange best practices, fostering international collaboration and progress.

Our experienced international consultants across the Americas, Europe, and Asia have a proven track record in both local and international assignments.
Kienbaum Netherlands has now grown into a leading player in consulting, and while our focus still remains on Executive Search, we have expanded our services in recent years. Our offerings now include Board Services, Assessment Services, Leadership Development, and Executive Interim Placements.
Together for
a Green Future
We enthusiastically support the Black Jaguar Foundation, which is committed to one clear goal: the large-scale planting of indigenous trees to establish the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor. This initiative contributes to a better future for all of us and for future generations on our planet.
We contribute to BJF's innovative and social approach, both financially and by raising awareness within our network. By planting these trees in Brazil, we make an impact together.
